CARRIE UNDERWOOD
Now here's a girl who really just wants to have fun! Carrie Underwood shared this "random favorite" photo from her surprise '80s birthday party.
CARRIE UNDERWOOD
She normally dresses like a princess, but tonight the singer is more like a prints-ess in a strapless floral Naeem Khan gown, worn with a Jimmy Choo clutch and David Yurman jewelry.

The hair is pure country, but the outfit is all rock 'n' roll. At the Country to Country Festival in London, Carrie gets edgy in a pair of silver Joe's pants, a black tee, Stella & Dot bracelet and black leather booties.
HIGH TIME
And your point is? Carrie Underwood, who celebrated her 30th birthday last week, belts out a tune Sunday while performing at the C2C: Country to Country music festival in London.
CARRIE UNDERWOOD
It doesn't put on a glowing light show like her Grammys gown did, but the bright-pink Katherine Feiner sheath the star wears with Swarovski earrings at the Country to Country Festival in London certainly makes her look radiant.
THE HILLS ARE ALIVE…WITH CARRIE!
When NBC airs a live broadcast of The Sound of Music in 2013, you'll see none other than Carrie Underwood as Maria von Trapp, stepping into the iconic role made famous by Julie Andrews in the 1965 film adaptation. "We couldn't be happier to have the gifted Carrie Underwood take up the mantle of the great Maria von Trapp," said Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment.
'HI'-LIGHT OF THE NIGHT
Carrie Underwood – who just celebrated her 30th birthday – happily greets her British fan base upon arriving to the BBC Radio 2 studios in London on Wednesday.
FUR VESTS
They're ubiquitous, they're celeb-loved and (best of all) they're warm. Take a cue from Jessica Alba and Carrie Underwood and get cozy in a fab faux version with jeans before it's too warm to rock one.

SHINE BRIGHT
Carrie Underwood brings glitz and glam to the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Sunday, where the country star took the stage as part of her Blown Away tour.
FIONA LOCKE STUDIO OSCAR GLOW TREATMENT
Like Spanx, spray tans have become a red carpet staple. Carrie Underwood's go-to pro spends over two hours exfoliating and bronzing the star with St. Tropez Tanning Mist to make sure the singer looks sun-kissed, not like she's transitioning into an Oompa Loompa.
"It's heavy on my soul. I'm afraid someone's going to tackle me."

CARRIE'S LASHES
It's hard to steal the spotlight from a $31 million necklace, but Carrie Underwood's lashes give it their best shot. They're so long and thick, we wonder if they create a strong gust of wind when she blinks.

"It's heavy on my soul," the country star said of her megawatt, glittery diamond Johnathon Arndt necklace – worth (are you sitting down?) $31 million – worn with a Roberto Cavalli mermaid gown Carrie called "classic and glam."

CARRIE: MILD TO WILD
She's got range, and we're not just talking about her voice. We have a feeling Carrie Underwood is one of the few women in the world to have a closet that houses both her Grammy ensemble, a princess-inspired sparkly Gomez-Grazia, and this avant-garde structured blue mini.
CARRIE UNDERWOOD
She's Mike Fisher's No. 1 fan! "Who is that handsome young lad? I want to marry him when I grow up!" Underwood, whose song "Blown Away" is up for two Grammys, joked whole posing with this photo of her hockey-playing husband.

KRISTEN VS. CARRIE
Got a cute leather jacket, like the Express one, $88, owned by Kristen and Carrie? Two new ways to wear it: over a flowy dress or with short-shorts and patterned tights.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD: AMERICAN IDOL
Watch a clip of Carrie Underwood on American Idol
The winner of Idol's fourth season in 2005, Underwood quickly headed for country superstardom with her debut album, Some Hearts, and its smash single, "Jesus Take the Wheel." "I think tonight kind of proved that American Idol can transcend the talent show stereotype it has," she said in 2007, when she was named Grammy's best new artist. The star has since taken home four more awards, and is up for best country song and best country solo performance this year.
CARRIE UNDERWOOD
Since she no longer has her official purse holder, the star's solution is to leave her bag behind and opt for impactful shoes instead – which she wears with a black-and-tangerine number (the skirt is Diane von Furstenberg) and choppy new bangs at a Grammy Nominee party in Nashville.
FAR & 'AWAY'
Carrie Underwood soaks up the spotlight while attending a celebration for her No. 1 single, "Blown Away," on Wednesday at Nashville's ASCAP headquarters.
"I just lost my purse holder but gained cheering on my hot husband as he kicks butt! #GoPreds."

Not quite ready to take on Diane's retro-inspired jumpsuit? Then start with something a bit easier to pull off like Carrie's simple and chic Katharine Kidd design.
CARRIE UNDERWOOD'S CUTOFFS
"I need these shorts for Labor Day. Are they DIY or did Carrie buy them like this?" – Layla
The country star shows off her legs in 7 for All Mankind cutoffs with brocade foil, on sale for $89, but you could definitely make a DIY pair with metallic paint and stamps!

Las Vegas glitz meets Pebbles Flintstone. For the American Country Awards, the singer shows off her legs in a sherbet Georges Chakra Couture mini and fringed gold heels, plus a Daniel Swarovski clutch.
SHORTS STUFF
Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert bring the spirit of Nashville to Las Vegas, where they glammed up for Monday's American Country Awards.
CARRIE UNDERWOOD
Though we're used to seeing the country star in sparkly ballgowns, we're digging this change of pace. She selects a sleek Katharine Kidd peplum jumpsuit with cap-toe heels, a Jill Milan clutch and Vahan jewels to the CMT Artists of the Year awards in Franklin, Tenn.

From: What's Her Best Side?
CARRIE UNDERWOOD
Last Christmas, the singer, seen here with her own rescue dogs Ace and Penny, saved two pups she found on the interstate near her childhood home in Oklahoma. Sadly, one dog died, but she took the other pup, Stella, to an emergency vet and fostered her until she was adopted.
AMERICAN GIRL
Carrie Underwood rehearses on Saturday for the 40th American Music Awards, which are being held Sunday at the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE.
CARRIE UNDERWOOD
The singer has sported some pretty epic outfits to awards show. And while this ornately beaded purple gown (worn with rose gold Jacob & Co. chandelier earrings and a Jill Milan clutch) doesn't feature batwings or butterflies, we won't soon forget it.
"It appears there have been some doping charges."
– Host Carrie Underwood, teasing lifetime achievement award recipient Willie Nelson about why he will be stripped of his CMA Awards in a nod to Lance Armstrong
"The greatest trade of the year had to be the Kennedy family. They somehow traded Arnold Schwarzenegger for Taylor Swift."
– Host Brad Paisley, ribbing Swift about her romance in his opening monologue before being informed of her recent breakup
KEITH URBAN
Without wife Nicole Kidman by his side (she is busy filming in France), Urban could devote his attention to admirers in the bleachers. "Having fun with the fans!!!" he Tweeted from the red carpet.
CARRIE UNDERWOOD & MIKE FISHER
The CMA Awards' co-host had the spotlight all night, but let her NHL star husband take the lead on the red carpet.
CARRIE UNDERWOOD
She goes on to make quite a few wardrobe changes, but we wouldn't have judged the CMAs cohost for wearing this plunging white Reem Acra creation (with metallic leaf detailing on the top), Johnathon Arndt gems, Jimmy Choo heels and Daniel Swarovski clutch the whole night long.
2011
Another year as host, another slew of over-the-top costume changes. The singer breaks out 10 totally different looks. Two we won't soon forget: her Nikki Rich shorts look, worn with Ryan Haber heels and a jaunty fedora, and the origami-inspired Cengiz Abazoglu mini, accessorized with a Cuffs Couture bracelet, Royal Asscher earrings and the same sparkly heels.
2010
Third time's a charm for Carrie as a co-host. She gets everyone talking with two tutu-inspired dresses: a tulle Talbot Runhof gown to kick off the show and a lemon Georges Chakra number that would likely get the stamp of approval from another famous Carrie (Bradshaw, that is).
2009
The costume changes only get more elaborate as Carrie steps out for her second year running the show. She makes sure she outshines her co-host Brad Paisley in a glittering Theia dress, which later gets exchanged for a Roberto de Villacis sequin shorts ensemble. (And by the way, these are just two of nine looks from that night.)
2008
For her first time as host of the CMAs, the star doesn't have a chance to get nervous – she's way too busy changing outfits backstage. Two of the many looks she debuts include this chartreuse beaded Roberto Cavalli gown on the red carpet and a beaded champagne mini.
2007
The biggest proof that Carrie had officially arrived: She wears more than $7 million worth of Johnathon Arndt jewels over the course of the show, including the diamonds that went with her Badgley Mischka red carpet dress, and the butterfly pins adorning her Escada performance gown.
2006
She shows up in a slightly baggy, printed-and-pleated gown and a prom-perfect updo. But lest you forget she's a bombshell with a smokin' hot body, Carrie then shakes out her hair and hikes up her hemline.
2005
It's hard to believe these two photos are from the same evening. But Carrie Underwood proves that she's versatile when it comes to style, donning a ruffled gown one moment and dressing up as a Stevie Nicks impersonator the next.
POINT & SHOUT
She may be country, but she's also rock 'n roll! Carrie Underwood lets her fans hear it while performing at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Canada, on Wednesday during a stop on her Blown Away Tour.
"How we going to do this?"
– Carrie Underwood, to 12-year-old fan Chase, who asked the singer to be his first kiss, at her Louisville, Ky., tour stop
